Going nowhere.

Ireland and Munster Rugby have this morning confirmed that Conor Murray signed an IRFU contract extension in early September which will see him play his rugby in Ireland up to at least the end of June 2022.

Since making his international debut against France in August 2011, Murray has won 67 caps for Ireland. He started every game of the 2014 and 2015 Six Nations Championship successes as well wearing the No.9 jersey in every game of the 2018 Grand Slam campaign.

Murray played a central role in Ireland’s first victory over the Springbok on South African soil in 2016 and later that year again starred in Ireland’s first win over New Zealand at Soldier Field in Chicago. He started all three Tests in the recent series success over Australia.

David Nucifora, IRFU Performance Director, commented:

“Conor is a genuinely world class player and he has illustrated this through the consistent quality of the performances he delivers for both Ireland and Munster. He has played a central role in driving the success that has been achieved at national level and we are delighted that he will continue to play his rugby in Ireland for at least the next three seasons.”

Conor Murray, commented:

“I am delighted to have signed on with the IRFU until at least 2022. Over the past few seasons I’ve enjoyed great days in the green of Ireland and the red of my home province Munster. I love playing here and look forward to making more life long memories in the next few years.”
